Wikis

Things i found interesting in wikis that I never knew about before was the history tab and all the small things i overlooked in the articles and layout. I also never realized how much vandalism is going on in Wikipedia. When I saw that there was an article about my school on there, it turns out that most of the people at my school, especially the staff, wasn't aware of the vandalism that was on there. But I found it interesting how some people devoted themselves to stopping the vandalism.

In a school environment, I think that a wiki would be useful for classes as a way of sharing the information that you find to help each other with assignments. This could be like a smaller version of Wikipedia but it's much more simple because it would only contain information that we need to know instead of all the technical stuff that would come up in a normal Wikipedia article. And with individual projects, it could be a way to check up on another group's project if they miss the presentation in class or if they want to check up on something they weren't sure of. In this way everyone can learn from each other.
